About this listen

 First generation Portuguese-Americans reflect on their heritage in a sarcastic and entertaining collection of discussions that preserve the past of our culture and look to shape the future of it. Sharing our own stories (and those of our guests and listeners) across the backdrop of the immigrant experience, we unwind ideas of guilt, fear, shame, and social norms influenced by ethnicity, religion, and media. Each new episode also has a segment dedicated to sharing mental health best practices (the elephant in the room of our culture). Guests and listeners of all cultures encouraged!Folk and Fad Social Sciences

    We discovered that the Portuguese equivalent to the "thirty, flirty, and thriving" mantra is "fifty, thrifty, and depriving..." This week's episode theme is thriftiness. And we also cover a recent incident where you won't believe what was used to heal an injured finger. Hint: It's even better than cobwebs.
